Where is the Set data type?
Hello! I'm new to Xojo and I'm tying to find the Set data type.
I've done a good bit of searching through the language reference and the forum, and I can't seem to find anything. Is it called something different in Xojo?
Thank you
That doesn't exist. The closest is a Dictionary, using just the Key with no corresponding Value.
var mySet as new Dictionary
mySet.Value( "a" ) = nil
mySet.Value( "b" ) = nil
mySet.Value( "A" ) = nil // Won't add it again
if mySet.HasKey( "b" ) then
 ...
end if
You could also design a class around this if you want a better or clearer API.

its more or less a array where you add a value only once. and after that the values not change.
you could use extends to add this feature to an array, using a method to check
if value is not there, or create a simple class that simulate your set if you need 100% the same.
As I would understand it, one advantage of Kem's approach is that Searches (and establishing whether something is or is not a member) will be faster using a Dictionary than an Array. Searching in a large Dictionary using a Key is fast. Searching a large Array using a value is not so fast.
Thanks for the replies. Kem's solution seems to be the best, since using an array would forgo the runtime advantages of a dictionary.
@Kem, I have a question about line 4 of your example. Are string keys in Xojo case-insensitive?
From: _URL_
An object that contains a list of key-value pairs. Both keys and values are Variants. ASCII String keys are case-insensitive, but non-ASCII String keys can be case-sensitive. String keys are encoding-sensitive.
and
String Key Differences
Dictionaries use hashes for their lookup functions. Because of this, string keys need to match exactly; otherwise the dictionary will not consider them equal. The only exception to this rule is with regard to string case. The characters "a" and "A" are treated as identical in dictionary keys because of a case-insensitive hashing function. However, non-ASCII characters such as "é" and "É" are not treated as identical in dictionary keys, even though they are equal in a direct string comparison.
While a UTF-16 string can be compared to a UTF-8 function in your code, they will provide different hashes when working with dictionaries.
Edit: also a good read:

Reporter gene

 A diagram of a how a reporter gene is used to study a regulatory sequence.
In molecular biology, a reporter gene (often simply reporter) is a gene that researchers attach to a regulatory sequence of another gene of interest in bacteria, cell culture, animals or plants. Certain genes are chosen as reporters because the characteristics they confer on organisms expressing them are easily identified and measured, or because they are selectable markers. Reporter genes are often used as an indication of whether a certain gene has been taken up by or expressed in the cell or organism population.
Contents
 Common reporter genes
To introduce a reporter gene into an organism, scientists place the reporter gene and the gene of interest in the same DNA construct to be inserted into the cell or organism. For bacteria or prokaryotic cells in culture, this is usually in the form of a circular DNA molecule called a plasmid. It is important to use a reporter gene that is not natively expressed in the cell or organism under study, since the expression of the reporter is being used as a marker for successful uptake of the gene of interest.
Commonly used reporter genes that induce visually identifiable characteristics usually involve fluorescent and luminescent proteins. Examples include the gene that encodes jellyfish green fluorescent protein (GFP), which causes cells that express it to glow green under blue light, the enzyme luciferase, which catalyzes a reaction with luciferin to produce light, and the red fluorescent protein from the gene dsRed. The GUS gene has been commonly used in plants but luciferase and GFP are becoming more common.[1]
A common reporter in bacteria is the E. coli lacZ gene, which encodes the protein beta-galactosidase. This enzyme causes bacteria expressing the gene to appear blue when grown on a medium that contains the substrate analog X-gal. An example of a selectable-marker which is also a reporter in bacteria is the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) gene, which confers resistance to the antibiotic chloramphenicol.
 Transformation and transfection assays
Many methods of transfection and transformation - two ways of expressing a foreign or modified gene in an organism - are effective in only a small percentage of a population subjected to the techniques. Thus, a method for identifying those few successful gene uptake events is necessary. Reporter genes used in this way are normally expressed under their own promoter independent from that of the introduced gene of interest; the reporter gene can be expressed constitutively (that is, it is "always on") or inducibly with an external intervention such as the introduction of IPTG in the β-galactosidase system. As a result, the reporter gene's expression is independent of the gene of interest's expression, which is an advantage when the gene of interest is only expressed under certain specific conditions or in tissues that are difficult to access.
In the case of selectable-marker reporters such as CAT, the transfected population of bacteria can be grown on a substrate that contains chloramphenicol. Only those cells that have successfully taken up the construct containing the CAT gene will survive and multiply under these conditions.
 Gene expression assays
Reporter genes can also be used to assay for the expression of the gene of interest, which may produce a protein that has little obvious or immediate effect on the cell culture or organism. In these cases the reporter is directly attached to the gene of interest to create a gene fusion. The two genes are under the same promoter elements and are transcribed into a single messenger RNA molecule. The mRNA is then translated into protein. In these cases it is important that both proteins be able to properly fold into their active conformations and interact with their substrates despite being fused. In building the DNA construct, a segment of DNA coding for a flexible polypeptide linker region is usually included so that the reporter and the gene product will only minimally interfere with one another.
 Promoter assays
Reporter genes can be used to assay for the activity of a particular promoter in a cell or organism. In this case there is no separate "gene of interest"; the reporter gene is simply placed under the control of the target promoter and the reporter gene product's activity is quantitatively measured. The results are normally reported relative to the activity under a "consensus" promoter known to induce strong gene expression.
 Further uses
A more complex usage of reporter genes on a large scale is in two-hybrid screening, which aims to identify proteins that natively interact with one another in vivo.

City of Alexandria, VA
History of the Alexandria's Human Rights Code
On March 25, 1975, Alexandria City Council passed one of the first human rights ordinances in Virginia.
The Code, which became effective April 21, 1975, prohibited discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodation, credit, health and social services, education and city contracts on the basis of race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, ancestry, marital status, or physical handicap.
Throughout the years, a number of changes have expanded the reach of the Code. In 1988, the Code was amended to include sexual orientation as a protected class; in 1991, the Code was amended to include fair housing protection for families with children, and the protection for the "physically handicapped" was expanded to cover all disabilities. Last, amendments to the Code in 1996 prohibited discriminatory practices in commercial real estate.

How can I make a consecutive numbering with my e-mark?
Creating a consecutive numbering imprint in the app
To create a numbering imprint, go to "New imprint" and "start without template". In the editor you can add a numbering element to your imprint. Alternatively, you can choose one of the pre-installed numbering templates and click on the numbering element.
You can choose the following numbering settings:
 - Starting point/First number
 - Steps to count upwards
 - Digits of your number (00123 would be 5 digits)
 - End point of your numbering
 - Change after 'x' imprints (an imprint/number can be printed several times before it counts upwards)
 - Define a prefix or suffix to your number
Printing consecutive numbering imprints:
Since one of the latest updates, imprints with numbering function are automatically counted up from the e-mark. For this purpose, a numbering has to be added in the editor or a template has to be selected from the numbering category. Then send it once to the e-mark, the rest will be done by the e-mark itself. The e-mark continues to count even if the app is closed or the e-mark is switched off between two prints.
Please note that prints with numbering function cannot be stored on the e-mark at the blue, pink and orange positions or added to the print queue.
Furthermore, please note that by removing the battery or having had a battery level of 0 %, the e-mark resets numbering and will not print the right information any more.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- Multiple equipped Counterweights do not stack. Only one will function at a time.
- The particular color equipped will display on a character, unlike the Yoyo Bag, which shows a random color.
- Does not stack with the Yoyo Bag.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Counterweights are real-world yo-yo accessories used to aid in tricks where the yo-yo is swung from the middle of the string rather than its end. Real-world counterweights are often patterned after (or made out of) polyhedral dice, and Terraria's follow suit: the Blue and Red Counterweights are four-sided (tetrahedral) dice, the Purple and Green Counterweights are six-sided (cubic/hexahedral) dice, and the Black and Yellow Counterweights are twelve-sided (dodecahedral) dice.

The tree consists of the following three parts or levels: A sentence is a trunk with branchesand the of the tree. Tree roots are the past, the rudiment which delivered it, a seed that sprouted it.
The strong trunk and lush crown means present, fortitude, prosperity, life. It's a persistence and straight way to endeavour goals. The top of the tree symbolizes the hope which is shining like the Sun and the tree climbs to it with all its force. The land feeds the tree roots and gives the life. This land is Lithuania. The bird on the top of the tree means the song of free Lithuanian spirit burst through all trivial works and troubles then it converges into the one holy song – Song festival.

Some say that fish can last 9 or 10 hours in a bag (or even a day or two in some cases). However, it's best for you and your fish if you stick to leaving your fish in the bag for 5 to 7 hours. A lot of fish can stay alive without oxygen for 2 days in shallow water.
How long do you let fish sit in bag?
Float the sealed bag in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes but no longer than one hour to allow for temperature acclimation. The water in the bag should be the same temperature as that of your tank prior to proceeding to the next step.
How long can fish live in breather bags?
It depends on a host of factors, but in general, fish can easily survive in a bag for about 7 to 9 hours comfortably, and possibly up to two days.
Are plastic bags safe for fish?
A scientific study published by researchers at Haereticus Environmental Laboratory and the University of Maine shows that a chemical in plastic bags made to U.S. FDA food-grade specifications can leach from the bag into seawater at such high concentrations that it can be deadly to fish.
Should you feed new fish right away?
There is no rule to feeding new fish straight after acclimation, but the fish will tell you. Some fish will be out swimming immediately, while others may go and hide. A small feed to test their appetite will show if they are ready to accept food. If not, wait 24 hours and try again.
How many fish should you add at a time?
As a good rule of thumb only add up to 3 fish at a time to your tank. Once you've added the fish to your tank, wait until you've completed a nitrogen cycle and then you can add more fish.
Can fish survive without a filter for a day?
Oxygen is as important to fishes as it is to us for survival. Then it starts hitting the surface of the water for more oxygen. Nevertheless, the fishes are under a lot of stress and they can only survive for almost two days after the oxygen depletion.
How long can fish survive without oxygen pump?
Goldfish and their wild crucian carp relatives can survive for five months without breathing oxygen – and now we know how. The fish have evolved a set of enzymes that, when oxygen levels drop, ultimately helps convert carbohydrates into alcohol that can then be released through the gills.
How many days can a fish go without eating?
As for food, freshwater fish are quite capable of going for several days without a meal. Healthy adult fish can go for a week or two without feeding. However, young fish don't have the fat stores of adult fish and they cannot go without eating very long.
How long do fish live out of water?
On average, fish can live about 10 minutes outside of water but can die faster if they land on an absorbent surface. However, saltwater fish will often live longer, and certain fish, like amphibious fish, have particular adaptations that enable them to last for a long time outside of the water.
How long fish live in tap water?
Ordinary tap water is fine for filling up the aquarium as long as you let it sit for several days before adding fish (the chlorine in the tap water will kill the fish).
How long do pet fishes live?
Is it better to feed fish in the morning or at night?
When Should I Feed My Fish? In nature, most fish feed in the early morning and at dusk. Exceptions are herbivores and omnivores that forage throughout the day, and nocturnal species. Although aquarium fish can be fed at any time of day, morning and evening feedings are best.
Do fishes sleep?
While fish do not sleep in the same way that land mammals sleep, most fish do rest. Research shows that fish may reduce their activity and metabolism while remaining alert to danger. Some fish float in place, some wedge themselves into a secure spot in the mud or coral, and some even locate a suitable nest.
Do you have to wait 24 hours to put fish in tank?
If you introduce bottled bacteria and water from an established tank at the shop, the nitrogen cycle can be completed after 24 hours. It will take about a day for the chemicals to eliminate chlorine and bacteria to bring ammonia and nitrates to healthy levels for fish to live in.
Can a fish survive in milk?
The simple answer is "no," but the nuanced response sheds light on how fish, and all other organisms, function. Fish have evolved over many millions of years to survive in water with a certain amount of dissolved oxygen, acidity, and other trace molecules.
Do you leave fish tank light on at night?
Proper aquarium lighting is essential to fish and plants, but so is the period of darkness for them to rest and replenish. Thus, it's best to turn off your aquarium lights at night to mimic plants and fish natural light cycle.
Should I turn off filter when feeding fish?
If your filter is pushing water downwards then it can be a good idea to switch the filter off during feeding to prevent this — just be sure to switch it on again afterwards! It might also be worth considering feeding in smaller quantities so the fish can gobble up most of the food before it reaches the bottom.
Can I turn my fish tank filter off for one night?
It is not a good idea to turn off your aquarium filter every night. The filter plays a key role in the health of your tank, and shutting it down for hours at a time can eventually lead to problems. Second, your filter helps to aerate the water.
How long can a fish live in a small container?
A fish can survive in shallow water conditions for about 2 days, and may even live for up to a week if it is the only fish in the container. In a crowded situation, fish will compete for more oxygen, which will lead to a depletion of the gas – meaning that they may not last for 2 days. What is this?.
Can fish live in bowls?
Specifically, a bowl cannot provide an adequate living environment for any fish, big or small. So, give the fish under your care what they need and deserve: the biggest, healthiest home possible.

Three ways to use text blocks in App Cloud
With App Cloud text blocks, you can store arbitrary blocks of text in the cloud and retrieve them for any purpose you desire. Now you can bypass your CMS (and your IT department!) when you need to manage certain types of lightweight data in your apps.
To create a text block, go to the Content section of App Cloud Studio, then click "New Content Source", then click "Text Content":
Then enter a name and some text. That's it! Whenever you want to change the text, just click "Edit" and App Cloud will save a new version. (You can revert to an old version at any time.)
At the code layer, you can request a text block with bc.core.getData(), just like a content feed:
bc.core.getData("my-text", function (data) {
 var myText = data.text;
 // do stuff
});
Here are three ways to use text blocks inside your app:

1. HTML text
Use a text block as a flexible messaging area:
Then insert the text into DOM using jQuery or the method of your choice:
bc.core.getData("welcome-message", function (data) {
 $("#welcome-message").html(data.text);
});

2. JSON text
Use a text block to store structured data in JSON format:
When you load the text, make sure to parse it using JSON.parse():
bc.core.getData("produce", function (data) {
 var produce = JSON.parse(data.text);
 ...
});

3. CSV text
Store a table of information as CSV:
After you load the data, split the lines, then split each line on the comma characters:
bc.core.getData("directory", function (data) {
 var people = [];
 var rows = data.text.trim().split("\n");
 for (var i in rows) {
 var row = rows[i].split(",");
 people.push({
 "firstName": row[0],
 "lastName": row[1],
 "phone": row[2],
 "title": row[3],
 "email": row[4]
 });
 }
});
These are just a few ways to use text blocks. As you can see, you can save any kind of text format you want—it's flexible by design!

This study examines U.S. federal employees' satisfaction with areas of human capital management and addresses the extent to which the relationships vary across generational cohorts. Using responses to the Merit Principles Survey, data were obtained from 36,926 employees in 24 federal agencies. The overall model predicts the effects of satisfaction with rewards and recognition, satisfaction with training and development, and levels of supervisory trust on job satisfaction levels. Contrary to the profiles of the four generations prevalent in popular and business literature, the results of the structural equation models suggest that the attitudes of these generations of federal employees are more similar than different. Implications for agency leaders and future research are discussed.

To Join or Not to Join: Examining Patent Pool Participation and Rent Sharing Rules
40 Pages Posted: 19 Nov 2006 Last revised: 4 Dec 2015
Date Written: November 15, 2006
Much of the economic analysis on patent pools is theoretical, and nearly all of the models assume that participation is automatic - any firm with a relevant patent and an option to join a patent pool is assumed to do so. But allowing firms to opt out of patent pools is a far more realistic assumption, since all modern patent pools are voluntary. In this paper, we present empirical evidence on participation rates and the factors that drive the decision to join a pool. We also summarize the various profit sharing rules found in modern patent pools, and explore the consequences of the rule chosen. Understanding how these institutions form and grow is especially important since more and more standard setting efforts are leading to patent pools for licensing the intellectual property embedded in standards. We find that vertically integrated firms are more likely to join a patent pool and among those firms that do join, those with relatively symmetric patent contributions to a standard appear more likely to accept numeric patent share rules for dividing royalty earnings.

Significance / Relevance of the study
To give light to the wildlife conservation in Oman and its contribution to the overall economy of the country, get a better understanding of why it has not been given a better focus/priority as a major tourist attraction.
Scope and Limitations
- The research scope is to identify all the wildlife Oman has to offer and see the total tourists visiting Oman are attracted to the wildlife conservation.
- It will be able to analyse and understand why wild life is not a main attraction in Oman tourism package.
- It will dive in deep into the economic contribution of wildlife conservations and other sources like fisheries to the overall tourism sector in Oman.
- The research will be able to identify the weaknesses in the wildlife tourism marketing and ways to improve and gain more attraction.
- Finally it will be able to delve into the success of shuwaimia in masirah in attracting tourists to the fisheries and what should the government do to be able to maintain and increase the number of visits.
Relevant Theory and Literature Review
Omani wildlife is the flora and fauna of the country from the southern corner of the Arabian Peninsula to the coasts on the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Oman climate can be described as hot and dry apart from the south eastern coast. Oman has variety of habitats for wildlife which include the mountains, valleys, deserts, coastal plains and sea coasts.
When one speaks about the tourism sector in Oman and its contribution to the overall country economy one usually means the Historical sites, commercial and industrial field. Rarely do we see or hear the wildlife in Oman being the focal point in attracting tourist to Oman.
According to Anita Isalska in her 2016 article with Rough Guides; she says the capital of Oman is a breath of fresh air when compared to UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) and Bahrain. She mentions the dazzling Mattrah souk and superb seafood and says the terrains bring the biggest thrills. She mentions the Hajr mountain Trek the deserts at dawn, spot dolphins at sundown and overall hospitality of the Omani people. She mentions the Historical sites in Nizwa and in the city. In her article there is no mention of the wildlife of Oman as a tourist attraction which is surprising as Oman is home to a variety of endangered species. (Isalska, 2016)
When you imagine Oman what comes to mind is the harsh environment (Desert) in the Arab Peninsula. Oman is rich with variety of landscapes and is home to many different species. One of the most common desert animal in Oman is the Camel; they can be spotted everywhere in Oman from the Coast to the mountains in the desert.
Oman is also home to Sea turtles that migrate annually from the Arabian Gulf to lay their eggs on the Omani shores; the most common is the green turtle but an overall five to seven different species come from different locations. Tourist should be marketed the experience of seeing the migrating process and the morning tour of the Al Jinz turtle reserve where tourist have the opportunity to see and snorkel alongside the turtle. (Ross, 1987)
Oman is also home to the Dolphins and whales, it is said that the best spot to come across a dolphin or a whale is the Musandam Peninsula and the shores of Oman. One of the attraction in the Omani wildlife is its rich marine diversity especially cetaceans such as the humpback whales that is isolated and endangered and the only non migratory population is the world. If advertised well tourists would come from all over the world for a chance to see the magnificent site. Other than the humpback whale Oman is home to the bryde whales, sperm whales, false killer whales, riso dolphins, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins and Indo pacific humpback dolphins and the occasional killer whale. (Kennedy, Fergus, 2016)
Masirah Island is one of the new spots opened for tourism; one can only get to the Island by ferry that is managed by the National Ferry company that runs six times a day between Shannah to Marirah. At this moment Masirah is not developed to accommodate a vast number of tourists. The Island has very few high end hotels and a kite surfing camp. For kite surfers Masirah is an attractive spot in the summer because of the monsoon winds; the Island is also an important hatching ground for the loggerhead sea turtles it is similar in importance to the beaches in Ras al Hadd and the nearby Ras al Jinz and a hatching ground for green sea turtles. Furthermore the endangered and most unique population of the humpback whales also migrate to the waters surrounding the island and Masirah Gulf (Surfer Today, 2014)
Finally Oman is home to the elusive and most endangered animal the Arabian Leopard in the mountains; their is approximately 200 left in the Arabian Peninsula. Oman is known as the last place the Arabian Leopard survives. In the Dhofari mountains of southern Oman and the Jabal Samhan Natural Reserves that was set up to protect the endangered wildcats. Another sanctuary that was set up was the Arabian Oryx sanctuary that helps the conservation of the Arabian Oryx and is the home of the sand gazelle, mountain gazelle, the Nubian Ibex, the honey badger, the red fox, the caracal, the sand cats and the Arabian wildcat (UNESCO, 2015).
As mentioned by Aljazeera (2014) majority of Oman's economy depends on it oil production; a whopping 75% of the overall economy has been accounted in the oil production sector. Omani government had made plans to make Tourism sector a major player in building the Omani economy and in the year 2014 tourism contributed to Oman's overall GDP by 6.4% and had anticipated it to grow to 8.4% by 2024.
As noted by the Ministry of Tourism; Oman has vast potential when it comes to the growth in the tourism sector. It is home to long coastlines, dramatic mountain scenery and numerous historical sites which include four UNESCO heritage sites, the tourism sector is the focal point of diversification in Oman. The Ministry of tourism has aimed in attracting 12 million visitors by the year 2020. Oman received 1.36 million tourists in 2007 (Ministry of Tourism 2011); the figure further increased to 1.96 million visitors in 2013 (NCSI 2014). According to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the direct contribution of tourism to Oman's GDP amounts to 3.3 percent of Oman's GDP (2014) and with 37,000 jobs generated, it accounts for 3.5 percent of total employment (2014). With these results, Oman is ahead of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar, but behind the UAE and Bahrain.
As claimed by MEED, the reality of the tourism sector in Oman does not match to the country's potential. Omani nationals spend a lot more on foreign trips than the income Oman receives from their international visitors/tourist. The tourism trade gap was calculated to around 380 million USD in 2011 (MEED). MEED also sites the lack of infrastructural and investment to the tourism sector. (Fanak.com, 2018)
Qualitative methodology was used when researching the paper; Secondary data was mainly used; information was collected from different journals on the Oman economy and tourism sector. e books that explain more on the importance of tourism to an economy, websites / blogs that talk about the tourist experience in Oman and newspapers that give historical facts on the growth of the tourism sector in Oman.

The proposed control system consists of a NC, a robust feedback controller, a third-order linear reference model and dynamics of ASS. The simulation examples with various standard input signals are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method and show significant improvement over the existing PID controller method. The robustness of the proposed NC is also analyzed with white noise disturbances on the suspension system. It is shown that the control System is robustly stable for all road disturbances.


Boss (video gaming)
In video gaming, a boss is an enemy-based challenge (and a computer-controlled opponent in such a challenge). A fight with a boss character is commonly referred to as a boss battle or boss fight. Boss battles are generally seen at the climax of a particular section of the game, usually at the end of a stage or level, or guarding a specific objective, and the boss enemy is generally far stronger than the opponents the player has faced up to that point.

What Does Duck and Weave Mean?
Duck and Weave Meaning
Definition: To move from side to side, bobbing up and down.
People often move this way when trying to navigate through a large crowd. This expression describes a type of motion.
Origin of Duck and Weave
The verb duck predates the animal duck, although the two are related. One meaning of duck means to dive. The animal is named for the diving motion it makes through the water, and how it bobs its head in and out of the water.
Another meaning of duck is avoid a blow by moving down quickly. This meaning of duck appears in the literal meaning of the expression duck and weave, which describes a motion common in boxing.
In the sport of boxing, the athletes will move their head up and down, and move their bodies from side to side, trying to avoid the other boxer's punches.
Nowadays, people still use this expression for boxing, but also for anything with a similar motion.
Examples of Duck and Weave
duck and weave boxing duck and weave Here is an example of a teacher using the expression in a math class.
Teacher: Okay, class is finished. Don't forget to turn in your homework. Hey, you, stop ducking and weaving through your classmates. I see you trying to escape through the crowd without giving me your homework.
Student: I'm sorry, but I forgot to do it. I thought you might not notice if I escaped the classroom before you saw me leave.
Teacher: Well, next time don't move in such an obvious way. Uh, I mean, next time just finish your homework.
what does ducked mean In this example, two friends are coming back home from a party.
Monica: I think I'm done going to parties that are at nightclubs.
Janice: How come? Didn't you have fun?
Monica: Yes, I enjoyed the music and seeing my friends, but the dance floor was too crowded. There was no room to move freely to dance. I felt like I was just ducking and weaving through the crowd all night.

This excerpt is from an article that questions the safety of dog parks. It describes the movement of a family pet.
 - Kyle Hurt and his 6-year-old son, Mason, lounged on a bench watching their energetic boxer, Jersey, duck and weave around a feisty Australian shepherd in the Hound Hill dog park near Quebec and Lincoln streets. –Denver Post
The second excerpt shows a food critic describing his walk through a restaurant.
 - My guest and I duck and weave through the crowd as we follow the hostess to our table. The dining room is just as loud. It's an echo chamber of shouted conversation and the uniquely screechy mating calls of the tequila-infused. –OC Register
The phrase duck and weave comes from the sport of boxing and describes the motion the boxer makes to avoid blows.
People now use it to describe the same type of motion when used in other activities, such as walking through a crowd.

The Songs from Long Road
Book Description HTML | Report this book
The Songs from Long Road is a loose mosaic of 34 songs and four chapters of prose that deal with the Hopi Indian legend of Pahana. The story assumes that Pahana is/was a real figure, and attempts to place him in the historical context. As such, Long Road selects important historical and religious events in Western, American, and Mesoamerican history, add tales from American Indian mythology, and blends them into a narrative. With a blend of prose and poetry, The Songs from Long Road gives the reader a colorful and distinctly different viewpoint.

We thank you for your interest. The deadline for submitting a proposal has now passed.
The High Commission of Canada in South Africa is pleased to launch its annual call for proposals for the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI).
The CFLI is a program designed to support small-scale, high-impact projects in developing countries, which align with Global Affairs Canada's thematic priority areas for engagement. The program is directed at projects conceived and designed predominantly by local partners. Projects are selected and approved by the relevant Canadian embassy or high commission. The CFLI also serves to support positive bilateral relations between Canada and recipient countries and their civil societies, by deepening contacts and supporting local endeavours.
The purpose of this process is to select approximately 4-5 projects to be implemented between September 2023 and February 2024. All project activities must normally be completed by February 28, 2024. Projects spanning two fiscal years may be considered on an exceptional basis, depending on the project's objectives and complexity.
The average CFLI contribution is $30,000 to $40,000 Canadian Dollars. Consult the currency converter for local currency equivalents. Please note that all contributions are made in Canadian dollars and then converted to the local currency.
How to apply

- Stage 2: Shortlisted candidates will be notified by email by May 12, 2023, and will be invited to submit a more detailed Project Proposal.
- The Project Proposal form can be accessed here: Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) Project Application for Funding Form (.pdf, 249.15 KB)
- Please do not send us a full Project Proposal unless or until you have been invited to do so.
- Expressions of Interest and Project Proposals must be completed in English or French.
- Expressions of Interest and Project Proposals must explicitly answer all questions on the forms provided by the CFLI team, including the required gender-based analysis. The proposed project budget should summarize the proposed activities and associated costs.
- Expressions of Interest and Project Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of:
- Concision and clarity

- Preference will be given to applicants who have not received CFLI funding in the last two years.
- Each organization is limited to the submission of one Expression of Interest and one Project Proposal.
- Due to the large number of applicants, only the successful candidates will be contacted.
Organizations eligible to apply for CFLI funding
Eligible recipients include:
- Local non-governmental, community and not-for-profit organizations,
- Local academic institutions working on local projects,
- International non-governmental organizations working on local development activities,
- Intergovernmental, multilateral and regional institutions, organizations and agencies working on local development activities,
- Municipal, regional or national government institutions or agencies of the recipient country working on local projects, and
- Canadian non-governmental and not-for-profit organizations that are working on local development activities.
The majority of CFLI funding is to be directed toward local civil society organizations (including non-governmental organizations) and other institutions working at the local level. Other entities, such as international, intergovernmental, multilateral and regional organizations may be eligible for funding, provided they are working with local partners and on local projects that are consistent with the objectives of the CFLI. Similarly, municipal, regional and national government institutions may receive funding, provided that their projects are essentially local in nature. The CFLI is always looking to fund innovative projects that deliver measurable results.
All projects must align with at least one of the following CFLI thematic priorities:
- Inclusive governance, including diversity, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
- Growth that works for everyone, including women's economic rights, decent jobs and entrepreneurship, investing in the poorest and most vulnerable, and safeguarding economic gains.
- Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
- Human dignity, covering health, education and nutrition.
Within these thematic areas, the High Commission of Canada in South Africa will prioritize projects with a specific focus on one or more of the following:
- Lowering the incidence of gender-based violence.
- Improving access to food, water, and healthcare for vulnerable populations.
- Enabling greater participation in digital and low-carbon economies.
In 2017, Canada adopted its Feminist International Assistance Policy to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls as the most effective way to reduce poverty and build a more inclusive, peaceful and prosperous world. In alignment with this policy, the CFLI project application process now requires a gender-based analysis (GBA). The purpose of this change is to enhance the gender equality outcomes of the CFLI program.
A GBA will require applicants to:
- consider how women, girls, men, and boys are affected differently by the problem their project is aiming to address, ensuring, at the same time, that the project does not cause harm
- consult women and/or girls in the development of their project proposal
- ensure that the views of those women and/or girls inform the project's design
Note that consultations can include, but are not limited to, speaking to women and girls from the local community, women and other individuals who work for civil society organizations that have worked in the local community and female and male decision and change makers who have knowledge of the local community.
Inadequate completion of a GBA may affect the consideration of your proposal.

How does First to File affect multiple inventors?
How does first to file affect multiple inventors?
It used to be that if an author/inventor was not listed on the patent the author could lose the patent rights due to the multiple inventor rule.
For example, Advanced Magnetic Closures, Inc. v. Rome Fasteners Corp., 607 F.3d 817 (Fed. Cir. 2010).

1entire case was misrepresentation by inventor and not allowing the original inventor its right. first to file is something different, good question we need some time to comeup with quality answer. – Pushpak – 2015-04-18T11:25:09.380
First to File doesn't have any impact.
Magnetic Closures was about inequitable conduct, effectively deliberately lying to the Patent Office about the inventorship of an application. Inequitable conduct can invalidate a patent. This rule hasn't changed.
Another part of the AIA did impact inventorship, and made correction of inventorship simpler: However, this doesn't enable correction of inventorship where the initial false claim was deliberate.

Defect depth quantification using lock-in thermography
Publication Type:Journal Articles
Source:Quantitative InfraRed Thermography Journal, Volume 12, Number 1, p.37–52 (2015)
In this paper we explore the defect evaluation in austenitic stainless steel (SS) using Lock-in technique and the effect of modulation frequency on defect detectability. A review of international literature indicates that while such studies have been attempted on materials like Perspex and composites, studies on austenitic SS like AISI 316, which are widely used in nuclear and other process industries, have been limited. For depth quantification, blind frequency method and phase contrast method have been discussed. The one dimensional analytical modeling proposed by Bennett and Patty has been adopted in blind frequency method. The investigation on the effect of defect size and shape on blind frequency and phase contrast has been carried out. The phase contrast method for depth quantification was found to be appropriate.

The board resolution of a Dutch company
This legal blog provides information about board resolutions of a Dutch company (BV): when do the laws of the Netherlands require a formal corporate decision and how is it taken?
Corporate decision making in the Netherlands
From our Dutch company law practice it has become clear that concluding a board resolution by Dutch companies raises questions. This mostly concerns the Dutch limited liability company (the BV) and Dutch public limited liability company (the NV, similar to the similar to the Anglo-Saxon Plc or Inc).
The legal requirements under Dutch law regarding executive board decisions are not always clear, even to Dutch lawyers. Also the reasons why such resolutions should best be concluded, are not always evident. But for Dutch corporate governance and director liability purposes, it is quite important that board members and their advisors understand the rules and that the best practices in the Netherlands are adhered to. For this reason, we have written this blog and we include a template board resolution under Dutch law (link provided below).
This blog addresses questions such as: what is a board resolution and how is it concluded for a Dutch legal entity. Which officers of a Dutch company play a role in the decision making process? In which events is a formal resolution obligated under the laws of the Netherlands and when is it advisable. What are the legal consequences when a formal decision has not been taken or not taken correctly?
What is a board resolution under Dutch law?
A board resolution is a resolution of the board of directors of a Dutch company, generally a Dutch limited liability company (Dutch acronym: BV) but it is essentially the same for all Dutch legal entities. The (executive) board consists of people or legal entities who have been appointed upon or incorporation or later by means of a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders of the BV. The decision of the board as a corporate body constitutes a board resolution and not the decision of a single board member. Such corporate decision can be taken in a physical meeting, but also through a phone or video call. An alternative can be that the board resolution is concluded 'outside a meeting', i.e. a written resolution that is concluded by all the board members.
Why is a board resolution for a Dutch company necessary?
Under Dutch company law, board members have a collective responsibility for the management of a company. To achieve the corporate purpose of the company, the executive board will devise a corporate strategy that translates to the numerous decisions that a company at the top lever, i.e. the board, will make. A formal decision of the management or executive board may simply be required by Dutch corporate law, the Articles of Association or director's regulations / bylaws. Board resolutions also serve the purpose of explaining how the board is taking responsibility for achieving its tasks. Also with respect to accountability and (warding of) director's liability under the laws of the Netherlands, board resolutions are essential for the corporate household.
When is a board resolution mandatory under Dutch law?
Under the corporate laws of the Netherlands, only few occasions exist when an executive board decision is actually required. This is for instance the case for resolutions that require the approval of the non-executive board (also called the supervisory board in the Netherlands) or of the works council. Also, the Articles of Association of a Dutch company, board regulations, governance codes and market practice may require that a (written) board decision is taken. In any case, the principle of better being safe than sorry applies here: a board of directors will generally reduce the possibility of director's liability when its resolutions are well documented. In practice, this is generally not done at all or not properly and this is the source of (too) many conflicts in the Netherlands between -especiallythe board and the shareholders.
How to conclude a board resolution of a Dutch company?
Dutch company law and the Articles of Association of the BV provide how a board resolution should be taken. Some corporate matters will require the involvement and approval of the general meeting of shareholders, the works council and / or the supervisory board.
Each board member can cast one vote. Also, a decision by the executive board needs to meet the principle of fairness and equitability and its needs to be the 'fruit of sufficient deliberation'. This means that board members can not be excluded from the decision making process.
That said, this is different for directors who have a personal interest that conflicts with the corporate interest. Such management board members may not partake in the decision making process nor in the voting, unless the Articles of Association of the Dutch company stipulate otherwise. A board resolution does not need to be in writing, unless on the basis of the Articles or a shareholders agreement. We deem it advisable to always conclude written board decisions.
Minutes of a board meeting of a Dutch company should include the date and location of the board meeting, an attendee list, the method of voting and a clear description of what has been decided. It is sensible that the board minutes also provide context relating the decision making.
If the formal rules are not adhered to, a board resolution may be annulled or declared null and void. In order to prevent this, we refer to our template board resolution for a Dutch company (download).
Can a Dutch court overrule or annul a board decision?
A board resolution can have far reaching consequences for a Dutch enterprise and the parties involved. As an example, the board may decide to replace its workforce by self-employed staff. This has happened in the Netherlands with IT driven food delivery services. For this reason, Dutch law provides that corporate decisions need to be reached diligently after weighing the relevant interests. A board decision that has not been concluded according to the formal rules may be declared null and void by a Dutch court of law. Also, a resolution of the management board can be scrutinized by the enterprise chamber of the Amsterdam court, which is a specialized court for Dutch corporate law matters.
A board resolution that contravenes directly with Dutch company law or with the company's Articles of Association is null and void. A Dutch corporate lawyer would consider it non-existent and, thus, the company can not execute such a decision and nobody can enforce it. An example of a resolution that Is null and void is when the articles of incorporation stipulate an increased majority of votes and such majority is not met. Such decision is deemed not be taken.
A board decision that is not concluded in accordance with certain formalities is not null and void by operation of law, but in can be declared null and void by a ruling of a Dutch court upon the request of an interested party, including the board. Until such court ruling, the decision of the board is valid. An example is a resolution that is not in accordance with board regulations / bylaws. The possibility to challenge a board decision of the executive / management board of a company in the Netherlands lapses after one year.
If there are good reasons to doubt the actions or inactions of a management board, there is the possibility to test the policies of the board before the enterprise chamber with the Amsterdam court through the so-called inquiry procedure. A court appointed specialist may scrutinize the policy and actions of the board and the court may suspend or annul the execution of board resolutions.
Checklist and template for board resolution of a Dutch company
We have drafted a template for a board resolution of a company in the Netherlands. The example board decision in can be accessed through this link. We also recommend using the following checklist to conclude a proper board resolution under Dutch corporate law:
 1. Who are the board members who have been appointed by the general meeting of shareholders? Which board members need to be involved in the relevant decision making process?
 2. Does the corporate resolution need the (prior) approval of the shareholders meeting or the supervisory board / non-executive board?
 3. Is there a member of the board who has a conflict of interest regarding the proposed resolution? If yes, how is this being dealt with since as a principle such board member may not partake in the decision making process? Check the Articles of Association and the board regulations on this point.
 4. Has the management board received specific instructions from the supervisory board or the shareholders meeting regarding the subject that is being decided on?
 5. Does the works council has an advisory or information right regarding the resolution's topic?
 6. Did the board weigh the relevant interests and have the interests of the company been taken into account?
 7. Make sure that proper minutes of the board meeting are being made that reflect both the resolutions and the relevant considerations of the board.

how fast is 50cc
How Fast Is 50cc Scooter? The Answer And More
We have all wondered just how the horsepower of a bike or a scooter translates into speed. The conversion of the horsepower to cubic centimeters (cc) and from cc to displacement and ultimately to the power of the engine and the speed it can generate are all too technical to make immediate sense to a rider.
What a rider can understand about an engine by the speed of the ride, he couldn't quite understand the same with the mechanical details of an engine's prowess. Thereby to know what a 50cc engine is/is not capable of, let's look at how fast is 50cc.
Relationship Between Speed And CC?
Simply put, the power of a motorcycle or a scooter is widely determined by what is known as engine displacement, which in turn is measured in terms of cc (cubic centimeters). Without getting knee deep into technicalities, suffice it to understand that the more cc you have on the engine, the more power it will generate.
Needless to add, that usually more power of the engine results in faster acceleration and higher speeds. Also, more engine power means that it can handle more weight, be it cargo or passenger weight.
how-fast-is-50cc
With the increase in the engine power the physical size of the automobile also increases, as does the cost. Most commonly, engine power of 50cc to 200cc are associated with scooters, while the motorcycles usually operate in engine power more than 250cc.
As you can guess, a 50cc scooter can hardly be expected to burn the rubber on the tracks, it is more suitable for shorter distances moderate speeds.
Read more about the power and cc here.
So, How Fast Is 50cc Scooter?
Let's clear this point once altogether of any doubts; a 50cc scooter will just about get you moving on the road, it will not take you very fast and probably is not the best choice to quench your need for speed.
Categorically put, a 50cc scooter is expected to ride well at a higher speed of 25mph and perhaps a little shaky at the top speed 40mph for a light weight rider riding on a plain. Expecting your 50cc scooter to do more in terms of speed and acceleration is just too demanding.
how-fast-is-50cc
A 50cc scooter is best used to be driven around in the city situated in the plains and not in the hills. A 50cc scooter can give you great mileage on the gas, sometimes even above 100 miles a litre. The 50cc scooters are the least powered automobiles and are most suitable for casual scooting around.
If you are looking to buy a scooter and think 50cc can do the job for you, I highly recommend that you thoroughly assess your requirements before you invest in it.
How To Assess Your Scooter Needs?
Before you take the plunge and bring home a 50cc scooter to be your work horse, you have to examine and analyze if the scooter can take the work load. Let's look at the factors you need to consider to decide if 50cc will do it for you:
POWER
how-fast-is-50cc
Your Weight
The more you weigh the more power you would want your scooter to have to be able to support and carry you. A 50cc scooter is ideally for those who are fleeter on their feet.
Uphill Terrain
If you are more likely to ride up the hill most of the time, you would want to get more power on your engine. If you usually ride in plains, the 50cc will be able to do the trick for you.
Your Riding Speeds
If you ride highways a lot then you usually ride at higher speeds then what a 50cc scooter will give you. A 50cc is more suited to riding in city streets at an ambling speed.
Cargo Or Passengers
If you usually need to ride with cargo or with pillion passengers, you would need to check if your 50cc scooter will have enough space, and also if the power it generates going to be enough.
how-fast-is-50cc
Maneuvering
Riding in the city streets requires you to steer and maneuver the scooter to avoid obstacles and to accelerate and brake as per need. The lightweight of the 50cc usually is great at to maneuver in the slick streets.
Gas Mileage
Due to the limited power that a 50cc scooter expands, it uses littler gas to run. The gas mileage in a 50cc scooter is the best and could be run by the user exceedingly economically. If, one of your primary motivations is to get around at fairly low cost, a 50cc scooter can do that for you, appreciably.
Weight Of The Scooter
Sometimes, an important consideration is the weight of the automobile you want to ride. Many new riders, who are have just learnt or are learning to ride a two-wheeler, or many times young girls who like to ride but are not confident enough to ride on bigger heavier automobiles, prefer to ride a small peppy scooter which is not all that difficult to manhandle if required.
A detailed read on how to chose a 50cc scooter.
ADVANTAGES
how-fast-is-50cc
Conceded that Speed is really not the upside of a 50cc scooter but yet there are things that make this a good choice:
kenda-k270-review
Easy to ride, beginners and pros alike can all ride them with ease.
kenda-k270-review
They are very comfortable to ride and easy to handle.
kenda-k270-review
They are not expensive and are very economical to ride.
kenda-k270-review
In many states, you can ride a 50cc scooter without a driver's license.
DISADVANTAGES
how-fast-is-50cc
We have discussed the most pronounced disadvantage of a 50cc scooter in detail; it's inability to accelerate quickly and an engine which is not very powerful to attain high speeds, carry heavy passengers or climb steep hills.
Conclusion
To conclude, it is quite clear that a 50cc scooter is not a great choice if you are a serious rider and are used to highways and like to take up any terrain that crosses their paths. It may be ideal for younger riders who are new to two-wheelers and for those who ride in the more congested part of the city.
As for the original question of how fast can a 50cc scooter go, the answer is clear - Not too fast.

Hello to all,
Does anybody again to share about my new project.
We have 3 drums of welding cable and rotating with each 3 platforms (little bigger than drum dia.). Each drum cable goes into the 3 welding tips respectively. Now, Operators want to know the remaining welding cables inside each drum. The operators remind the machine that it cannot start again once remaining cables are less than to complete one whole welding cycle.
Are there any other sensors to monitor the welding cables inside the drum? Aside, I am planning to put load cell/strain gauge in each platform to measure the weight of the drum. Is my approach correct?
Please give me some ideas about how to measure these drums. Those people in welding industries
will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
I assume that you mean the electrode wire, and not the shunt cable. It is difficult to give a realistic answer without knowing the mechanical parameters in more detail.
However, sensing wire feed is a common application. The most straight forward methods all rely on the length of wire between the spool and the work piece being enough for at least one part. Thus, when the spool itself runs out, there is still enough wire in the system to finish the part. This means you are not trying to measure the wire while it is still on the spool. Instead you are detecting it after it has left the spool (which is much more practical to do).
You then just need to detect either if the wire is present, or if it is moving. Detecting the wire itself reliably is usually not easy. It is usually better to have the motion of the wire turn or move something else (e.g. around a pulley or between a wheel and pinch roller), and then detect that. This also tells you if the wire is broken or jammed somewhere in the system (the wire is not moving when it should be). You will need to make the logic tolerant of timing lags in the system or else you will get a lot of false triggers.
I doubt that weighing the spools would work. There just isn't enough weight difference between "almost empty" and "empty" to weigh accurately. Furthermore, you won't know what that particular spool weighs empty until you actually empty (at which time it is too late to care).
Hello Mr. Griffin,
Your idea is very much appreciated.
Yes, I am reffering to the welding electrodes rotating inside the invisible drums (not a naked spool which also commonly seen and used).
To add some flow of the process, we are welding for a 11 meters long max. continues welding with no stopping between 0-11 meters.
Otherwise repairs will be done and considered downgraded products if not properly repaired.
We are to avoid stopping between 0-11 meters without knowing electrodes present in the drum. Operators should know or automatilcally determine electrodes present in the drum that it is not possible for a complete 1 cycle (0-11 meters) welding. Otherwise change the drum if detects less than 1 complete cycle.
Welding speed, voltage, amperes base on the thickness welded object may affect the lenght of the electrodes. Distance from the drum to the welding tip is 20 meters and I assure this is not possible for a 1 complete welding cycle proceess.
I might be grateful if this will be done,
You might try the simple approach first. Have the controller count how many meters are used. Add to your interface a reset for a new spool or where the new spool meters are entered manually. Then have the control count down or subtract how much you used plus a safety factor, and you shouldn't be having to do rework. You could add a manual input for operators in the event they waste the wire on start up, wire breaks, etc.
Just a thought for a simple approach.
The first parameter you have to determine is how much wire is enough. If 20 metres of wire isn't enough, then what is?
You might consider modifying the feed system such that it gives you more length between the spool and the work piece. You could move the spools further away, or (likely more practical) you could run the wire through some guides to zig-zag it back and forth.
Alternatively, you could try weighing the spools as in your original idea, but I think you will end up throwing out a lot of wire at the end of the spool to avoid the risk of running out. Weighing the wire simply won't be as accurate as actually measuring it.
It is not really possible to make a recommendation though, as this comes down to a matter of economics. Your application is a bit unusual in that the length of your continuous weld is much longer than in typical manufacturing. In most applications people want to avoid wasting wire. You however have to balance a more complex feed system (and more time to change spools) versus wasting wire versus scrapping what sounds like a large and expensive part.

I have columns of data (marks on assessments) that filter in various ways. When I filter I simply hide the rows that do not match the filter key. Then I want do stats on the visible data, eg averages, Standard Deviations etc. However Excel seems to include the hidden rows when I this. Is there a way to get Excel to ignore hidden rows in its calculations?
I could just copy the data on the visible rows to another worksheet, do the stats there and then copy it back to the appropriate cells but if there is a built in method I would like to know.
Thanks

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.

Hi Gary,
Here is a way to make most Excel worksheet functions look at just the visible cells in a range. I make use of a user-defined function I call Vis(). As an example of its use, suppose you want to average the visible cells in the range B2:B200. Simply call the AVERAGE function like this:
=AVERAGE(Vis(B2:B200))
Here's the code for the Vis function.
Code:
Function Vis(Rin As Range) As Range
'Returns the subset of Rin that is visible
Dim Cell As Range
Application.Volatile
Set Vis = Nothing
For Each Cell In Rin
If Not (Cell.EntireRow.Hidden Or Cell.EntireColumn.Hidden) Then
If Vis Is Nothing Then
Set Vis = Cell
Else
Set Vis = Union(Vis, Cell)
End If
End If
Next Cell
End Function
This works with both hidden rows and hidden columns.
To install this function in your workbook, go to the Visual Basic Editor (keyboard Alt-TMV), insert a new macro module (Alt-IM), and paste this code into the Code pane.

Check out the SUBTOTAL function. It supports 11 stats functions and it operates on either all cells or on only visible cells depending on the first argument. For more see Excel help.

I have this SWT widget (color picker) with label:
enter image description here
By pressing the star button, color picker field transforms into code field, where you can write code:
enter image description here
I am not satisfied with this "star button", which is used to change input mode for color. I think there are should be some alternative, how this could be done. But I can't think of any other application with the same functionality. Any ideas?

You could make the dropdown box editable, then when the user starts typing the control suggests colors from the list. For advanced users the box should accept color values in hex.
share|improve this answer
If I want a custom colour, I have to select the star, and then enter in the colour value. You are adding an extra step for no benefit, and adding something that is not very clear.
I would instead treat the dropdown as a shortcut to a defined colour which modifies a text field which can represent a hex colour, or a code colour.
That way it is clean and simple to use, and makes it as fast as possible.
Here is an mockup of what I mean:
enter image description here
If you have the ability, I would also make the colour block a link to a colour palette with relevant colours. This would also act as a shortcut to change the hex value or code value depending on what is most applicable. Something similar to this:

Thank you for your answer, my mistake - I explained what I want to do in a very brief way. I can't go away from code field, this is the domain-specific area of app. It must be there. Also there are other different GUI elements: width pickers, style pickers, text editors and so on that will have two different input modes. Color is the only example. Hence, I need this "trigger" to switch on the "input code mode". What is the most intuitive way for end-user to perform it? End-users are aware of code input and app functionality. – Steve Mar 7 '13 at 18:22
_USER_ could you please explain how the 4th example shown would not work? You could just not use hex codes, but keep the text area for domain specific code. – JohnGB Mar 7 '13 at 18:43
yes, you are right about 4th example. But since this two colors could be different, it would be too confusing – Steve Mar 7 '13 at 20:08

History of Albion River Bridge
Posted: 07/09/2014
Albion River Bridge July 2001, shot at the bay side at very low tide
The first permanent bridge that crossed the Albion River was a draw bridge which allowed the logging tugboat "Zenith" access up the river. This bridge was a part of the first county road that connected the lumber towns together. The bridge is long gone now but the wood members of the bridge pillar are still exposed in the South bank across the river. The old county road crossed Albion Flats where the road is today but it no longer has the sawmill at 18 feet above ground covering it.
As traffic increased, the county constructed a new wood bridge that crossed just up river. This bridge is seen in the upper half of the above photograph east of the sawmill. The bridge was 512 feet long and 16 feet wide with no wheel guards on the sides. Two of the three bridge footings were in the water and are still visible in the river east of the campground. In August 1933, the bridge and road became a part of the state highway system, subject to state maintenance. Soon after the state took over the road maintenance, the declared the bridge as badly worn from overloaded traffic and started the design of a replacement bridge. When the state was ready for materials, World War II had started.
A prolonged battle with the War Resources Board ensued over allocation of the needed steel. California finally prevailed and started construction on the existing bridge in 1942. The final plans allowed for just enough steel to reinforce the two concrete pillars and to build the 130 foot long truss between them. The rest of the bridge is specially treated redwood. Specifications for the bridge are 26 feet wide, 969 feet long, and 150 feet above the river.
